I woke up this morning with a surprise. I
am still alive. My fingers and limbs are completely here, none were plucked or
cut off. This is a bizarre business indeed. My eyes do not belong to me. Not
even an inch of my skin is my own. All of it belongs to the supreme Creator,
the almighty Lord. I have sinned so much, and Allah still gives me the chance
to live another day. He is indeed the Most Merciful. There is no reason for Him
not to punish me for everything I did, and yet I am standing here, complete and
healthy. I have lost hope in myself, yet He gives me another chance to repent,
and change for the better.
I look at the trees and the skies, how
they grow tall and mighty, the birds flying fearlessly, the fields all green
and subtle to behold. The One who made all this has the power to break my neck
and split me in half, but he never did. I am here, alive and strong. Praise the
Lord for giving us a chance to live another day, to fix ourselves into better
men.
My friend,
We live our lives each to different and diversified purposes. My cat seemed to be nice with me for the sake of
food alone. Without that, I am just an alien to its whole existence. Some kids
fast so they can get more money. Some people get married because Facebook says
that it is so wonderful. It's not. Politicians make crappy National Day song
because they really want to lose the next election. Peter Jackson directs
"The Hobbit" because The Lord of The Rings made so much money. There,
my friend, we've got reasons for stuff.
I am writing this because you
cannot see reason , whatever I do to make it clear.
Organizations exist for reasons.
Prefects in school exist because teachers need a place to release their daily
stress, and students need role models to despise and hate. Sorry. UMNO exists as a safe platform for legalized
robbers to plunder the nation's wealth. My village's JKKK exists because they
should. Charity organizations exist because there are still a lot of good men
walking upon the earth. Some organizations are unclear of their direction ; for
whatever purpose ;we can't figure them out.
For us students , we have a lot of
groups and clubs. We are young and wild with the idea of a leadership to change
the whole world, change everything and make it all new. We ridiculous kids
strive for charity works and campaigns, most of it are those that the adults
have lost hope in achieving. We are young men, hopeful youths! We can plan
carnivals, summits, dinners the size of a whole district, countless forums and
competitions. For what?
Here's a list of things you should
check before joining a group;
1. What kind of
activities does this group do? Charity or training for assassins? Does it
improves hablumminallah, and hablumminannas?
2. Is the organization
free of the ideas of extremism, racism, and bigotry? Take Perkasa for an
example; among groups that should have never existed.
3. Does this group
support the corrupt government? If yes, then you really have to run away from
them. I mean, really? How could you?
Should you be wanting
to commit in their activities and posts, consider this my friend. There are
groups which are complete; the charity and organizational works, religious
affiliations and strong , correct political stands. Why? Our religion is
complete, it is not just rituals , but it constitutes human development,
charity and politics among others; who are we to refuse them? Some
organizations are doing just simple group works, and other groups focuses
only on the rituals. If there are groups that are perfect, would you be joining
the lesser ones?
Some people refuses to discuss this, citing unity
measures and the freedom of diversity. Well, crap, I really don't care about
that. This is just a simple guide in the form of questions, should you ask
about it someday. If you still want to join groups which goes against the
religion, supports the evil acts of the government, and displayed racist
remarks, then go on my friend. It is your
choice, and I really don't care. Why should I?
The thing is, we would be
questioned about our choices in the Hereafter. Why did I marry this woman? She
got a lot of pimples to begin with. Why did I let my cat live with so much
allergies and infections? Why can't you just go on with your decision, since
you don't really want to change it? Good day mate.
Peace.
